Pilot Dr. Grip 4+1 4 Color 0.7 mm Ballpoint Multi Pen + 0.5 mm Pencil - Series I - Orange Body

I have all of the pens in the two series, and this one is by far the most "fun" one of the bunch for me (followed by the lime green). A completely versatile pen that never leaves you fumbling for another color ink in an edit or technical drawing with a pencil to boot. This one does show that it's more plastic than some of the others, but to be expected from the photo. Unique: I have yet to have this one swiped from me at work.

I got this as a replacement for the blue version I lost. It's just as good except the color was brighter than I had expected. The actual pen is not as dark as the picture.. and more plastic-looking.

I was really excited to get this pen/pencil, as I am a nursing student and wanted a high-quality refillable multi-pen to take with me to clinicals. I must say that I absolutely love it. However, this was my first-ever Dr. Grip pen and I was very disappointed with the grip - which is what Dr. Grip is famous for. It is very hard and doesn't feel squishy at all. It hardly even feels like there is a grip on it, actually. I decided to give Dr. Grip another chance and ordered the Pure White (with the cute pink accents) and I must say that the grip on that pencil is much softer. That being said, don't order this if you are expecting a nice soft grip. It's really firm, but it still is somehow ergonomic. I love it, and it works perfectly for the purpose that I ordered it for. I also played with it for literally fifteen minutes before I gave up and looked up how to extend the lead in the pencil function (you push the clip down even farther than you may think you should).

Pros:
Very elegant design
Attractive coloring with a great pearly tint
Many color options that range from professional to fun and cute, for both sexes
Writes very well with clean thin lines and no globs
High quality construction
Does not jam like many multi-pens
Many types of ink refills will fit (great if you are a fan of gel or other types of inks)
Does not skip with high-speed writing
Eraser cap fits firmly and eraser refills are very fairly priced
Everyone wants to know where I got it :)

Cons:
Grip is not even a little bit soft
Learning to operate the pencil and extend the lead can be a task
Refilling can be a little bit tricky
Everyone keeps asking me if they can have it :(

I love this pen... for its body. I'm something of a multipen aficionado (Jetstream, Surari, Acroball, I've got 'em all, and usually multiples) and I absolutely adore the body on the Dr. Grip 4+1. It's really nicely weighted, the grip provides just the right amount of cushion, and it looks really classy. Unfortunately, the ink is pretty awful. All four colors are prone to white streaks, and the black and blue in particular are just average crappy ballpoint ink. If only the ink were as good as the regular Dr. Grip ink, it would be stellar. (I have, however, solved that particular problem by using the Acroball multi-pen refills, which fit perfectly! My beloved hybrid ink + classy body = win. Now I just need a green Acroball refill...)

OMG!!! BEST MULTI PEN OUT OF ALL OF THEM!!! It WRITES SMOOTH PERFECT ALL OF IT. PLEASE BUY THIS YOU WONT REGRET TRUST ME ITS WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
